From other threads it's seemed some people from small teams feel left out at Nationals because they don't have enough people for relays. How about not counting the relay points for the Small Team Awards and letting the small teams pool swimmers for relays. Pooled relays would not count for records or Top Ten but could win medals.
Michael,
I'm not necessarilly advocating any of these changes, just bringing them up fo discussion. Changing the name of the wrold champs to me would be stupid, I was using it as an example of how different masters interpretation of "world" is than USS.....as it exists now it is a club championship.
I would love for Nancy to address some of these points that are being brought up by various folks in this forum. Not everyone can attend the convention, this would be a way to reach a ton of people.
Jerry, there are lots of possible scenarios....you don't have to hold a "trials" you could pick teams of our us nationals results. Guys (gals).....just bcause we have "always" done something a certain way doesn't mean it can be done differently or better! "Challenge the domiant paradigm" (a favorite bumper sticker).
